Carried out mostly by current and former Orthodox Christians.

Carried out mostly by Christian Germans.

No you can't, for four reasons.
1: Judeo-Christians have been at it for 4000+ years and have not stopped.
2: "Atheists" have been at it for less than a hundred years and now? Secular nations are almost exclusively the most tolerant, friendly, safe, healthy and educated nations in the world.
3: Unless any of those men brought about their atrocities in the name of promoting atheism, and I know that none of them did, then you're guilty of false equivalence.
4: Even if everything you said was even close to correct, it doesn't change the fact that your religion has a violent, genocidal history. That doesn't stop being true just because there might be others.
Quote:But misguided religious fanatics don't make god bad! That's where that tired logic breaks down. There's no god cause people can be bad? Makes no sense.
Religious fanatics don't make god bad. The Bible makes god bad. Your religious fanatics aren't misguided. They're following the Bible's instructions.
Quote:Without god, who cares how many die? People don't have souls right? So they are a commodity? Just culling the herds in your mind! C'mon,man.
That's funny, because Christianity has, without any question, been the most violent and destructive religion in the history of mankind. Their belief in a god and souls has never made a difference when it comes time to sharpen the swords. Yet, we have a virtually atheistic religion such as Buddhism which, even though it's older than Christianity and there are no gods, mysteriously lacks most of Christianity's bloodbaths and genocides.
